You can do it in the bios. Yes STK would be a solution to handle
that.

We added the following to the post_install_network_config snippet so any
non-defined interfaces will get ONBOOT=no in their configuration file.
Right before the "rm -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*" line.
It may not be what you are looking for (not built-in) because you have to
modify an upstream provided snippet.
I just pushed the commit to github, so you can also take it from there:
https://github.com/chutzimir/cobbler/compare/leave-interfaces-down
#raw
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
for iface in ifcfg-*; do
[ -f cobbler/$iface ] && continue
grep ^DEVICE $iface > cobbler/$iface
grep ^HWADDR $iface >> cobbler/$iface
echo "ONBOOT=no" >> cobbler/$iface
echo "BOOTPROTO=none" >> cobbler/$iface
done
#end raw
But if you are looking for a built-in way you can maybe actually define
the NIC in cobbler with a static IP of 127.1.1.1 (or similar)?
